Chris, Your perspective/opinion(s) as a [very] nearby resident to this project is welcome and, arguably, insightful. I certainly do not consider Target and home depot high end either and go to great lengths to avoid such retailers myself. Having lived in the Canton/Westwood/Dedham area for...

Re: W Hotel Ron, I understand your analogy about alcohol distribution and trafficking. And while I am not for trying to make alcohol illegal again (didn't go over so well when they tried it back in the prohibition days), you have to admit that alcohol creates its share of problems (health...

Re: W Hotel Agreed, a step in the right direction. One of the benefits of development. I've done a ton of work in Richmond and have watched a formerly run-down area of the downtown area get a lot nicer as VCU expanded it's presence there. Getting back to the above article, what chaps my ass...

They are forming up the foundations for what appears to be two relatively large (long) buildings now along the Enterprise Dr side of this property.

Re: Filene's Reminds me of the last scene in 'The Departed'.

Re: Columbus Center Barbi, Tough call . . . you are free to have your own opinion, as are we all. Not so sure rattling a sabre at a person who does pour a lot of energy into contributing to [this, in particular] discussion is in the best overall interest of the forum . . . but who am I to...

Re: Patriots Place Or, perhaps, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's?

Re: W Hotel This seems like a very wide structure . . .

Re: Columbus Center Indeed ;->! My guess is that they'd do the job no worse but for a lot less money and more quickly than the unions.

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Content and substance aside, a quick proof-read (especially for a relatively-short posting) wouldn't hurt either.

I have some pictures of this (and will take more as the work progresses) as well . . . anyone wish for me to send them to them so they can be posted?

I live not too far from this area and could provide periodic progress pictures (pardon my Dr. Suessian word selection) to anyone with the ability to post them (I am unable/to stupid to do so).

Having not been to north station in over a year (the last time was right around the time they had completed/opened the expansion of the lobby area but nothing else), I must say I was very impressed with how it has turned out. The retail fits well, the seating is a definite improvement, the big...

Re: Columbus Center Seems that the persistent cyclical nature of real estate markets would provide a hell of an opportunity for a development/finance team with the money and the moxie to break ground on an ambitious project when 'the market' is way down . . . Contractors, laborers, and...

Re: New BU Tower While riding my bike along the Boston side of the Charles from North Station to Kenmore square, I could not help but be impressed with this perspective of the new BU Tower. It has what I would describe as a modern, regal appearance to it.

Re: Patriots Place Tommym, I do appreciate your points about the high prices and how the season ticket holders (especially the long-standing ones) can make a substantial argument that they have been taking it in the chops . . . Looking at it in a larger sense, what % of the people who call...

While public transit access to Logan is amongst the best in the nation (in my opinion), it could be better. When one considers that South Station is, as the crow flies, barely two miles (if that far) from Logan property, it should not take 20 minutes at best (took me 29 today--hopped on the...

Agreed. If the silver line was rail vice bus, I suspect it would be a faster and more consistent trip (not to mention have a higher volume capacity, depending on the frequency of service). Even if such a railed silver line used the existing blue line station/track--thereby requiring usage of...

Haven taken both the silver line and the blue line (with a walk from S. Station to either State or Aquarium preceeding the blue line trip) at various times of the day between once and 4 times per week for the last several years, anecdotally, I would say that it is generally a bit quicker to take...

Re: Patriots Place If you are referring to the ticket prices for Patriots home games, why shouldn't he keep raising them if people remain willing to pay for them [even as the price goes up]? Putting yourself in his shoes, it would be hard to think of doing any different, would it not?
